So I have teeth with more gloss,
And to prevent loss....

Rolling on the fields lined with grassy, grassy green moss....

better and brighter than you,
but don't despair.  laugh
or cry, but make sure  you have
lots of dental floss and tissue....

Cotton floss candy
Spirits spread quicker
Sanguine is fancy
Sweet treats fit kinder

An exotic  lunch to serve your boss:
The Aussie Salad with Sheep Dip Sauce!
The flavour's unique

Though kissing cousins may wish to floss...

What I liked about him was this: 
He was cotton candy on some days
And dental floss on others —
A guilty pleasure, sweet and light
Or wholesome, fresh breath to set a day right...

White fluffy clouds sailing in the sky
I used to wish I could float on them  
Or may be eat them like candy floss
Now I don’t see them any more
For I am cooped up in my cabin
And over my screen bent low....

The capsule burst open
  Fuzzy floss spills out
Soft white parachutes 
  for small seeds that yearn
     to float away like dreams

I do not think a rose 
would be beauty with green gloss
It is the red that captures the soul 
And likewise to my red rose 
The way you are is enough, its boss 
The way you are is beautiful' It's Floss
The way you are is a rose
You could be sold as love, Rose....

An artist rolls his brush full of vibrant color across a Canvas
A window to a distant world soon forms, a Catalog or Atlas.
A land of curious blooms, and candy floss
Odd bits of colorful stalk brim floating moss.
This land of flamboyant fun, and pinkish bananas....

With candy floss and sticks of rock
Funfair rides made to shock 

Rollercoaster big fast rides 
All make you hid your eyes

The carousel and kiddies swings 
Hoop darts and all those things 

The Sandy' Beach and cockles too
These are the things I like to do...

No Kiss me Quicks, no giggling girls,
no candy floss, no strawberry swirls,
no shuggy boats or bright blue skies
no donkey rides or coconut shies,
no arcade fun, no fishing off the pier,
no slot machines, no ginger beer.
November blues, an empty prom,
to sunny Spain they’ve all moved on....

Baby Dreams.

Candy floss dreams in pastel blue,
Soft soothing gentle lullabies,
Peaceful Rainforest sounds construe,
To close two tiny sleepy eyes.

The joy of Granny's gentle hug,
The love in Papa's quiet voice,
Bathtime glowing, all wrapped and snug,
The sandman leaves no room for choice....

Pork Rind, Oh Pork Rind
As I reach in your bag
I am truly amazed
At the flavor you have

I know where you come from
Just don't know where you've been
After all the truth is 
You are a pigs skin

You often come with a bonus
I am seldom at loss
The piece with the hair
Which in the end I can floss...

The elderly nana had one last wish.
I would like a bit of faerie floss she said.
I thought she meant embroidery floss.
Someone else thought she meant gauzy material.
An old gentleman arrived carrying cotton candy on a stick.
We used to call this faerie floss, he told us.
She was more than happy with it....

It is said the first flag maker was Ms. Betsy Ross
Was also said she could do well with some dental floss
As one can imagine twas because she ran out of thread
She forgot to order it because she didn't take her meds

is... gushing pink pillow
of floss, froth and nonsense
reaching new heights
to obtain its non-worth

Sentimentality -
the word leers in your ear-hole,
stupid and vain,
to rush sense away

Sentimentality -
the word veers towards vomit.

S e n t i m e n t a l i t y -
hard on the brain
